Black Adder has got to the best British show I've seen...along with Allo! Allo! :D

I knew it! The vampires are using technology to figure out who to ambush and drink blood out of! ;)

Ah, Bic! The pen that saved me money and hassles of pencils and fountain pens. :)

I'm glad you caught this Alex! I was just going through my Ted Podcast feed and saw the episode and thought this would be "neat" to put up! :) Awesome idea all around!

:( Man this was a downer...poor kitties...

Hahaha! That was brilliant! I'm still laughing at the "zing" at the end. :D

@ The Mutt

Oh, I agree whole-heartedly! I've also debated the finer points of being abducted would I go and see the Universe or would I scream like a maniac and make a mad dash for the exits. Also, being a pretty solitary guy I would also think I could use my life for better things like paving the road to Space. You put it quite eloquently! :)

Argh! I woke wondering why the Sun was so bright then realized that I hadn't fixed my clocks! :(

@ Leela

Wait, what? *looks at picture* Oooooh! *blushes* ;)

I can attest to the "blah" of British cuisine. Having lived in London for 2 years you get to try out food from a colorful background of ethnic groups. But it's pretty standard for every visitor to try out the local food first. Trust me when I say blah! However, it is true that the British population have adopted many other ethnic foods as their own such as curry like the famous spicy dish "Vindaloo".

I wouldn't mind going if it was with folks I could stand living with, Hell, the best idea would be to send couples who could stand each other for long periods while doing scientific work and adding to the growth of the colony. Hell, if we could do that we could even drop off folks and supplies in a one way only method. I'd so volunteer to do this. Have my name go down in history for being among the first humans to colonize the surrounding planets.

Oh, I remember seeing this guy on a National Geographic Special about people who have extraordinary abilities like speed reading, instant math calculations, endurance and so on. I think it related to how the brain works in many ways. It was quite intriguing and awesome to see folks who you could possibly walk past on the street who have "super brains".

Pheromone candles would make big money for sure.

I found further proof that the Holy Ceiling Cat exists!
